US General says SpaceX Starlink has "destroyed Vladimir Putin's information campaign" in Ukraine amid Russian invasion. The importance of Starlink in maintaining command and control for the Ukrainians cannot be understated.
It's only been available for a couple of weeks but Starlink for RV's has already had over 30,000 orders. Important to note that the service is still not rated for moving vehicles. That's supposedly coming soon.
Not just China but also Wokistan here in the US. The Taiwan flag was back on the jacket but the movie was also absent any woke messaging. This second item, in my mind, is the real reason the movie is doing so well at the box office.
